00:07 God is love, God is love 00:12 Praise Him, praise Him All ye little children 00:16 God is love, God is love 00:24 Hello and welcome to our Kids Time holiday special. 00:27 We are here at the Fresno 00:28 Central Seventh-day Adventist Church 00:30 and I want to give a warm welcome to everyone here 00:32 as well to our television viewing audience. 00:35 I'm so glad you've joined us 00:36 because we have an exciting 00:38 holiday program planned just for you. 00:41 As I think back 2,000 years to the city of Bethlehem 00:45 there was joy in the hearts of the angels, 00:47 there was joy in the hearts of the shepherds 00:49 and there was joy in the hearts of Mary and Joseph 00:52 when baby Jesus was born. 00:54 His very name indicated that 00:56 He would save His people from their sins. 00:59 And we can have that same joy 01:01 as we make room in our hearts 01:03 to receive Jesus as our personal Savior. 01:06 Let's listen as Mirielle sings 01:07 and plays for us "Joy to the world." 01:24 Joy to the world, 01:27 the Lord has come 01:31 Let earth receive her King 01:38 Let every heart prepare Him room 01:46 And heaven and nature sing 01:50 And heaven and nature sing 01:53 And heaven, and heaven 01:58 and nature sing 02:10 Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns 02:17 Let men their songs employ 02:24 While fields and floods 02:29 Rocks, hills and plains 02:33 Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy 02:40 Repeat, 02:42 repeat the sounding joy 03:12 Amen. 03:14 She brought for us her first born son 03:16 wrapped Him in swaddling clothes 03:18 and laid Him in a manger 03:19 because there was no room for them in the end. 03:22 This was the exact sign given to the shepherds 03:25 by the angels to identify the Savior 03:27 that was born that day in the City of David. 03:30 The shepherds came with haste 03:31 and they found Mary and Joseph 03:33 and the babe lying in a manger. 03:35 That always gives us the exact amount of information 03:38 we need to find Jesus 03:40 when we search for Him with all our hearts. 03:43 Right now Janna is going to sing this beloved 03:45 and familiar carol "Away In a Manger." 03:56 Away in a manger, 04:00 no crib for a bed 04:04 The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head 04:12 The stars in the sky 04:16 looked down where He lay 04:20 The little Lord Jesus 04:24 asleep on the hay 04:30 Be near me, Lord Jesus, 04:35 I ask Thee to stay Close by me 04:40 for ever and love me, 04:44 I pray Bless all the dear children 04:50 in Thy tender care 04:54 And take us to Heaven 04:58 to live with Thee there 05:09 Is there such a thing as a perfect gift? 05:12 During the holiday season shoppers go and search of it. 05:14 Everyone wants to give the gift 05:16 that will light up the eyes of their beloved one. 05:18 But what many people are searching for are things 05:21 that don't come wrapped in fancy packages. 05:23 Well, now I'm going to let you on some good news. 05:26 You don't have to spend hours and hours 05:28 shopping in over crowded stores, 05:29 surfing the internet or spend sleepless nights 05:32 worrying about how you gonna pay for it. 05:34 There's only one gift that delivers what it promises. 05:37 Yes, I'm talking about what the angels sing about 05:40 so long ago the gift of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 05:46 The Guthrie Family will now play for us 05:48 a special arrangement of that familiar French carol, 05:51 "Angels We Have Heard on High." 08:17 Amen. 08:19 Let's go back in time 08:21 to the delivery room when Jesus was born. 08:23 How often wondered if Mary truly understood 08:26 that the child she had just delivered 08:28 would one day deliver her. 08:30 The sleeping babe she loving held in her arms 08:33 with the Savior of all mankind. 08:35 Let's listen as Sofia shares some of the thoughts 08:37 that Mary may have pondered as she sings, 08:40 "Mary, Did You Know?" 08:44 Mary, did you know 08:48 That your Baby Boy 08:52 would one day walk on water? 08:57 Mary, did you know 09:01 That your Baby Boy 09:04 would save our sons and daughters? 09:09 Did you know That your Baby Boy 09:16 has come to make you new? 09:21 This Child that you delivered 09:27 will soon deliver you 09:33 Mary, did you know 09:36 That your Baby Boy 09:39 will give sight to a blind man? 09:44 Mary, did you know 09:47 That your Baby Boy 09:51 will calm the storm with His hands? 09:56 Did you know That your Baby Boy 10:02 has walked where angels trod? 10:07 When you kiss your little Baby 10:13 you kissed the face of God? 10:18 The blind will see The deaf will hear 10:24 And the dead will live again 10:29 The lame will leap The dumb will speak 10:35 The praises of The Lamb 10:46 Mary, did you know 10:51 That your Baby Boy 10:56 is Lord of all creation? 11:01 Did you know That your Baby Boy 11:08 would one day rule the nations? 11:13 Did you know That your Baby Boy 11:19 is heaven's perfect Lamb? 11:24 The sleeping Child you're holding 11:31 is the Great, I Am 11:54 Zana is 12 years old 11:55 and has been singing since she was just three. 11:58 She has such a love for Jesus 12:00 that any time I ask her to sing on Kids Time 12:02 she is always ready and willing. 12:05 I have come to love Zana very much 12:06 and I especially love her commitment to Jesus. 12:09 Today, she will sing about the miracle of Christ birth 12:12 in the "Little Town of Bethlehem." 12:21 O little town of Bethlehem 12:28 How still we see thee lie 12:34 Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 12:40 The silent stars go by 12:46 Yet in thy dark streets shineth 12:52 The everlasting Light 12:58 The hopes and fears of all the years 13:04 Are met in thee tonight 13:11 O holy Child of Bethlehem 13:17 Descend to us, we pray 13:24 Cast out our sin and enter in 13:30 Be born to us today 13:36 We hear the Christmas angels 13:42 The great glad tidings tell 13:49 O come to us, 13:53 abide with us 13:59 Our Lord Emmanuel 14:13 Last year when Mirielle went 14:15 to visit family in the Philippines 14:17 she was invited to sing at a wide variety of places 14:19 that included her parent's home church, 14:21 a local radio station, a women's correctional facility 14:25 and even the men's city jail. 14:27 It doesn't matter where she is or how often she's asked 14:30 Mirielle is always excited to witness for Jesus. 14:34 Let's listen to the message in this song 14:36 "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." 14:45 Hark! The herald angels sing 14:50 Glory to the newborn King 14:56 Peace on earth and mercy mild 15:01 God and sinners reconcile 15:07 Joyful all ye nations rise 15:12 Join the triumph of the skies 15:18 With the angelic host proclaim 15:23 'Christ is born in Bethlehem' 15:29 Hark! The herald angels sing 15:35 Glory to the newborn King 15:43 Christ by highest heaven adored 15:48 Christ the everlasting Lord 15:54 In the manger born a King 16:00 While adoring angels sing 16:05 Peace on earth, to men good will 16:11 Bid the trembling soul be still 16:16 Christ on earth has come to dwell 16:22 Jesus, our Immanuel! 16:28 Hark! The herald angels sing 16:34 Glory to the newborn King 16:43 Amen. 16:46 For the last six years Chris has enjoyed 16:48 playing the saxophone 16:49 and has chosen to play for us the Italian carol, 16:53 Gesu Bambino which means baby Jesus. 16:56 As many of you know it also has the same lyrics 16:58 and melody as the choirs of O Come All Ye Faithful. 17:01 Listen closely and see if you can catch that melody 17:04 as Chris and his sister Cherrie play Gesu Bambino. 19:44 Amen. 19:46 The Guthrie Family has traveled the world 19:48 singing and playing their musical instruments. 19:50 They have also been part of our Kids Time family 19:53 for many years now. 19:54 In fact many of you may remember William 19:57 who is the only one I know of who can smile 19:59 and play the trumpet all at the same time. 20:02 This family has dedicated their lives to Jesus 20:05 and I'm looking forward to being neighbors with them in heaven. 20:08 This next song has been used both as a nativity 20:11 and Second Advent hymn. 20:13 "Come Thou long expected Jesus" 20:15 tells of Israel's found home for a Messiah. 20:18 Listen closely to these next words 20:20 Come, Thou long expected Jesus 20:23 Born to set Thy people free 20:26 From our fears and sins release us 20:28 Let us find our rest in Thee 20:31 Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a king 20:35 Born to reign in us forever 20:37 Now Thy gracious kingdom bring 22:55 Amen. 22:58 Sofia found out just how far reaching her music ministry 23:02 and 3ABN is spread. 23:04 While visiting family in the Philippines 23:05 she attended church there. 23:07 They were so excited to see her 23:08 that she was asked to sing for special music that very day. 23:12 Sofia always has a song in her heart. 23:14 Now God has used her on Kids Time 23:16 for over the last nine years to bless others. 23:19 I'm so glad she is here with us today with her mom Lily 23:22 and in tribute to her Savior and ours Sofia will now sing 23:26 the very beautiful song "O Holy Night." 23:35 O Holy night, 23:39 the stars are brightly shining 23:44 It is the night 23:47 of our dear Savior's birth 23:56 Long lay the world 24:01 in sin and error pining 24:06 Till He appeared 24:09 and the soul felt its worth 24:16 A thrill of hope 24:19 the weary world rejoices 24:25 For yonder breaks 24:28 a new and glorious morn 24:34 Fall on your knees 24:42 O hear 24:45 the angel voices 24:50 O night divine! 24:59 O night 25:03 when Christ was born 25:08 O night divine! 25:16 O night, 25:20 O night divine! 25:26 Fall on your knees 25:34 O hear 25:38 the angel voices 25:43 O night divine! 25:51 O night 25:55 when Christ was born 26:01 O night divine! 26:09 O night, 26:13 O night divine! 26:23 Amen. 26:26 The word noel comes from an old English word 26:29 related to Christ birth. 26:30 I like this next song because it tells me that 26:33 God had angelic beings sing the very first 26:35 birth announcement to everyday people just like you and me. 26:39 Not just the kings or sports heroes or movie stars 26:42 and He still wants to talk to us personally every day. 26:46 Zana will now sing for us "The First Noel." 26:58 The first Noel 27:02 the angels did say 27:07 Was to certain poor shepherds 27:11 in fields as they lay 27:15 In fields where they lay 27:20 a keeping their sheep 27:24 On a cold winter's night 27:28 that was so deep 27:32 Noel, Noel, 27:37 Noel, Noel 27:42 Born is the King 27:45 of Israel 27:50 They looked up 27:55 and saw a star 27:59 Shining in the East 28:03 beyond them far 28:07 And to the earth 28:11 it gave great light 28:16 And so it continued 28:20 both day and night 28:24 Noel, Noel, 28:29 Noel, Noel 28:34 Born is the King 28:38 of Israel 28:42 Noel, Noel, 28:46 Noel, Noel 28:52 Born is the King 28:55 of Israel 29:05 In our next song the holy tree with its thorns 29:08 reminds us of Jesus crown of thrones 29:10 and its red berries remind us of Jesus blood 29:13 shed for our sins. 29:14 Let's take a moment to sit back and picture 29:17 "The Holly and the Ivy" 29:19 as Weston plays this lively song. 31:00 All heaven was histories God sent His angels 31:03 to proclaim through out the heavens 31:05 the birth of his only Son. 31:07 What an exciting time this was 31:09 and the shepherds on the hill side 31:11 rejoiced in the good news 31:12 telling everyone to pray for peace 31:15 for all people everywhere and of the Christ child 31:18 that would bring goodness and light. 31:20 Let's listen as Chris plays "Do You Hear What I Hear." 32:50 Amen. 32:52 During the holiday season 32:53 when people's hearts are turned toward one another 32:56 we have the opportunity to unity all people 32:58 in heart and mind by ending all our envy and strive. 33:02 That's the day I'm looking forward to, how about you? 33:05 Let's just sit back and enjoy 33:06 the special harmonies at the Sanders Family 33:09 as they sing "O come, O come, Emmanuel." 33:24 O come, O come, Emmanuel 33:31 And ransom captive Israel 33:37 That mourns in lonely exile here 33:44 Until the Son of God appear 33:50 Rejoice! 33:53 Rejoice! 33:57 Emmanuel 34:02 Shall come to thee, O Israel. 34:09 O come, Desire of nations, bind 34:15 All people in one heart, soul, and mind 34:22 Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease 34:28 And fill the whole world with heaven's peace. 34:34 Rejoice! 34:37 Rejoice! 34:40 Emmanuel 34:46 Shall come to thee, O Israel 34:52 Rejoice! 34:55 Rejoice! 34:58 Emmanuel 35:04 Shall come to thee, O Israel 35:10 Shall come to thee, O Israel 35:17 Shall come to thee, O Israel 35:27 Amen. 35:29 Jesus spent His entire life here on earth 35:32 tenderly caring for others. 35:34 But instead of being praised He endured much pain, 35:37 ridicule, and rejection yet Jesus loves each one of us 35:41 so much that He willingly died on a cross 35:44 so that we might have eternal life. 35:46 Can you imagine how dark world would have be 35:49 if we didn't have that blessed hope 35:51 that Jesus is coming again. 35:54 "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella" 35:56 is a French carol dating back to the 1500s 35:59 when torches were used to illuminate the darkness. 36:03 We can only imagine that long ago 36:05 in that lowly stable 36:07 Joseph may have used such a torch 36:09 just to give light to the light of the world Jesus Christ. 36:14 The Guthrie Family is also excited 36:15 to proclaim the birth of Jesus 36:17 as they play this beautiful song 36:19 "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella." 38:52 Amen. 38:53 I like to imagine what it must have been like 38:55 for the shepherds who came to greet baby Jesus 38:57 in that lowly stable so long ago. 39:00 By faith they had journeyed Bethlehem 39:02 to be among the first to worship the king. 39:05 Oh, what an incredible experience that must have been. 39:09 This beautiful song invites all of us to come into Him 39:12 as Mirielle sings "O Come All Ye Faithful." 39:26 O Come All Ye Faithful 39:32 Joyful and triumphant 39:37 O come ye, 39:40 O come ye 39:42 to Bethlehem 39:48 Come and behold Him 39:53 Born the King of Angels 39:59 O come, let us adore Him 40:05 O come, let us adore Him 40:10 O come, 40:11 let us adore Him 40:20 Christ 40:23 the Lord Sing, 40:28 choirs of angels 40:32 Sing in exultation 40:37 O sing all ye citizens 40:42 of heaven above 40:48 Glory to God Lord, 40:53 glory in the highest 41:00 O come, let us adore Him 41:05 O come, let us adore Him 41:11 O come, let us adore Him 41:21 Christ the Lord 41:29 Amen. 41:32 A new day had dawn and God came to earth 41:35 as a fragile new born baby. 41:37 As His mother held Him closely how could she have known 41:40 that all too soon mankind would hate Him 41:43 and crucify Him on a cross? 41:45 Let's listen to Weston's arrangement of one small child 41:49 who would one day become the Savior of all mankind. 43:56 Merchants and innkeepers were exacting high prices 43:59 for goods and rooms. 44:01 People from all over had come to Bethlehem to pay their taxes. 44:04 No ease and confusion, 44:06 tired travelers and crying babies filled the night. 44:09 But even as the cattle were lowing 44:11 there was one quiet place of perfect peace. 44:15 Let's listen as Zana and Zeayon 44:16 sing my very favorite Christmas carol "Silent Night." 44:31 Silent night, 44:36 Holy night 44:40 All is calm, all is bright 44:47 Round yon virgin, 44:51 mother and child 44:55 Holy infant 44:58 so, tender and mild 45:02 Sleep in heavenly peace 45:10 Sleep 45:12 in heavenly peace 45:18 Silent night, holy night 45:26 Wondrous star, lend thy light 45:33 With the angels let us sing 45:41 Alleluia to our King 45:49 Christ the Savior is born 45:57 Christ the Savior is born 46:06 Christ the Savior is born 46:21 Amen. 46:22 The sky exploded with the holy light 46:24 as the angels sing of Jesus humble birth. 46:27 What a perfect gift God has given us. 46:30 It was the birthday of a king. 46:32 I've known Sofia for many years now 46:34 and I know Jesus is her king. 46:37 I asked you today is He yours? 46:47 In the little village of Bethlehem 46:54 There lay a child one day 47:01 And the sky was bright With a holy light 47:07 O'er the place where Jesus lay 47:14 Alleluia! 47:17 O how the angels sang Alleluia! 47:24 How it rang! 47:28 And the sky was bright 47:31 with a holy light 47:37 'Twas the birthday of a King 47:44 'Twas a humble birthplace, 47:48 but O how much God gave 47:53 to us that day 47:57 From the manger bed what a path has led 48:04 What a perfect, holy way 48:11 Alleluia! 48:14 O how the angels sang Alleluia! 48:21 How it rang! 48:24 And the sky was bright 48:28 with a holy light 48:33 'Twas the birthday of a King 48:43 'Twas the birthday of a King 48:58 Chris's favorite Bible text is 1 John 4:16, 49:02 and "We have come to know and have believed the love 49:05 which God has for us. 49:06 God is love, and the one who abides in love 49:09 abides in God, and God abides in him." 49:13 It took a lot of love for God to give His own Son 49:16 and it took a lot of love for Mary to carry a child, 49:19 raise Him and then see Him die for her sins and ours. 49:24 I'm so thankful for God of love, aren't you? 49:27 Let's listen to Chris's arrangement 49:28 of "Mary, Did You Know?" 51:51 When the wise man saw the special star 51:54 they followed by night to keep the star in view 51:56 until they have found Jesus and worshiped Him. 51:59 Even though the wise men 52:00 were not actually present at Jesus birth 52:03 we learn from this familiar song 52:05 that just like the wise men of long ago 52:07 we can worship Jesus too. 52:10 Let's worship together with the Sanders Family 52:12 as they sing "We Three Kings." 52:20 We three kings of Orient are 52:23 Bearing gifts we traverse afar 52:27 Field and fountain, moor and mountain 52:30 Following yonder star 52:33 O star of wonder, star of night 52:39 Star with royal beauty bright 52:43 Westward leading, 52:44 still proceeding Guide us to 52:48 thy perfect Light 52:58 Born a king on Bethlehem's plain 53:02 Gold I bring to crown Him again 53:05 King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign 53:11 O star of wonder, star of night 53:18 Star with royal beauty bright 53:21 Westward leading, still proceeding 53:25 Guide us to thy perfect Light 53:38 Glorious now behold Him arise 53:42 King and God and Sacrifice 53:45 Alleluia, alleluia! 53:49 Sounds through the earth and skies 53:51 O star of wonder, star of night 53:58 Star with royal beauty bright 54:02 Westward leading, still proceeding 54:05 Guide us to thy perfect Light 54:15 On December 24, 1906 a Canadian inventor broadcast 54:20 the very first AM radio program 54:22 which included him playing, "O Holy Night" on the violin. 54:26 This French carol appears to be the very first piece 54:29 of music broadcast over the radio. 54:31 Today Mirielle and Millicent will be singing and playing 54:35 "O Holy Night" 54:36 and it too will be broadcast all over the world 54:39 but this time via 3ABN satellite. 54:52 O Holy night, 54:56 the stars are brightly shining 55:02 It is the night of our dear Savior's birth 55:15 Long lay the world 55:20 in sin and error pining 55:25 Till He appeared 55:29 and the soul felt its worth 55:36 A thrill of hope 55:40 the weary world rejoices 55:46 For yonder breaks 55:50 a new and glorious morn 55:56 Fall 55:59 on your knees 56:04 O hear 56:08 the angel voices 56:14 O night divine! 56:22 O night 56:27 when Christ was born 56:32 O night divine! 56:42 O night, 56:47 O night divine! 56:58 Amen. 57:02 When a new baby is expected 57:04 there are so many exciting things happening. 57:06 Baby showers and decorating the nursery 57:08 and picking up baby names and so much more. 57:11 But now of this was happening when our Savior was born. 57:15 In fact it seemed that no one was ready 57:17 for the Messiah to come at all. 57:18 Sofia is going to sing about that day, 57:21 that very extraordinary day "When a child is born." 57:27 A ray of hope 57:30 flitters in the sky 57:35 A shiny star 57:39 lights up way up high 57:44 All across the land dawns a brand new morn 57:51 This comes to pass 57:54 when a child is born 57:59 A rosy hue 58:03 settles all around 58:07 You've got the feel 58:11 you're on solid ground 58:16 For a thought or two no-one seems forlorn 58:23 This comes to pass 58:27 when a child is born. 58:31 It's all a dream 58:35 and illusion now 58:39 It must come true, 58:43 sometimes soon somehow 58:48 All across the land dawns a brand new morn 58:55 This comes to pass when a child is born 59:02 This comes to pass when a child is born 59:16 I want to thank each of you for joining us 59:18 and I would like to encourage you 59:19 to make Jesus the center of your life. 59:21 Not just during the holiday season 59:23 but each day throughout the year. 59:26 God bless you. Happy holidays. |
